Dedalus is a blue water expedition catamaran designed by America’s cup naval architects and constructed in 2007 by the renowned builder Alwoplast S.A. in Chile. She is powered by two 490hp Cummins QSC 8.3's and she cruises at 8 knots using less than 20 litres per hour with a range of over 4,000 miles. She can reach a maximum speed of 24 knots yet still burning less than 160 litres per hour. She is an extremely tough boat with huge fuel and water capacity and loads of backup systems, allowing you to comfortably go anywhere, from remote offshore islands in the developing world, to across the wide oceans. Freedom and adventure will be yours.

The accommodation includes an aft saloon leading up to a huge open bridge deck. Here you will find the dinette, galley and main helm position. The impressive master cabin spans over both hulls with King size bed, his and hers bathrooms and walk in wardrobes. This cabin can be separated into two doubles by a central partition and a banquette sofa converts to another double bed. Through the connecting head on the port side is another double cabin with access to the day head and on the starboard side is a twin bunk cabin with en suite head.

The Alwoplast yard build really tough boats, with lots of heavy, extra beams and reinforcements. For instance the front of each hull comes to a vertical metal knife edge, angled forward, and reinforced behind with sold glass, designed for Dedalus to hit and ride up over a heavy object in the sea such as a container. Dedalus has a semi-displacement hull and was designed for blue water cruising. She holds up to 3,785 litres of freshwater and up to 10,600 litres of fuel and has many backup redundant systems for ocean passage making.

Broker comment;

This 63 foot Power Catamaran is a serious blue water cruising boat. The owner has lived on her since new and recently moved up to a larger boat. Some electronic systems need to be upgraded but otherwise she is in good condition and ready to go cruising.

Backup hide-away wheel manual hydraulic steer system ,should Autopilot pumps fail (Also, if rudders fail, can steer with engines through ZF engine controls at helm and in plug-in remote which reaches any part of the boat.)

This very special custom power CAT was completed in 2007 by the Alwoplast yard in Chile, in the same time the Alwoplast celebrated their 20th anniversary. Alwoplast was founded by German immigrants in the German-speaking town of Valdiva, Chile, and because they are on the roaring 40s, they build really tough boats, with lots of heavy, extra beams and reinforcements. For instance the front of each hull comes to a vertical metal knife edge, angle forward, and reinforced behind with sold glass, designed for Dedalus to hit and ride up over a heavy object in the sea such as a container. Dedalus’s underwater hull is based on the semi-displacement hull, developed by the New Zealand yacht designer, Malcolm Tennant, but in this case designed by the naval architects, Nautatec SL, whose personnel, among other things, have been involved with America’s Cup syndicates for over twenty years. (See www.nautatec.com.) This hull allows Dedalus, with a strong-build dry displacement weight of 46 tons to cruise at 8 to ten knots at around 0.6 gallons a mile and reach a maximum speed of around 24 knots (although at over two gallons a mile). Dedalus was designed for blue water cruising. She holds up to 1000 gallons of freshwater and up to 2,800 gallons of fuel. She has many backup systems in case something goes wrong when a local boat shop is not nearby.
